Ever wake up one morning and think to yourself:
“Jeepers self, if only everything I wrote would automagicly correct all grammar, structure and other errors!”
If so, you’re most definitely not alone – the ability to ensure ALL errors are eradicated prior to publishing is a Very Good Thing indeed.
That’s why you’ll enjoy the following article (and be certain to return back here when done for even more great resources):
This goodie includes thingees like:
“…Read Your Content Backwards
Of all the self-editing techniques on the list, this one might be the strangest to perform. It feels like you’re sipping the far side of a cup of water while trying to get rid of the hiccups.
When trying to self-edit your work, read your content in reverse. This forces you to look at the content on the page word-by-word and makes it difficult for your brain to fill in details that aren’t already there….”
and
“…Text to Speech Software (TTS)
Once upon a time, my personal self-editing technique was to read my own text aloud. I’d force myself to vocalize the words on the screen and make the corrections as I went along. (This works for pen and paper editing, too.)
But reading aloud has one problem: You know what you wrote, and if you’re not paying attention to exactly what’s on the page, it’s easy for your brain to fill in the gaps!…”
Good stuff indeed!
The topic of self-fixing can make for a great blueprint/tutorial/cheatsheet idea as well! You could break it down into:

Step 2.) Research writing tools
Step 3.) Find creative ways to ensure your writing shines!
